I didn't hear about this comp until about four/five years ago, long after it first appeared, so I had the devil's own time trying to track down a copy of it - it was especially tough since this is really not an official bootleg, just a fan's collection of odds and sods. But mission accomplished, and gladly so; there's some gold on this here disc - including the live version of "The Magnificent Seven" the band played on Tom Snyder's Tomorrow show in 1981, while they were in New York during their legendary Bonds International Casino residency, and the demo version of the same song from the previous year (then titled "Dirty Harry [Speed Mix]").

Many thanks again for sharing. This has some amazing stuff. I think the remix was a very creative thing and I love that the Clash were so involved with it as it adds another great notch in their belt. Terrific blog you have here...

Thanks again for the link. Really enjoyed Lightning Strikes (live). For those interested (and I'm probably preaching to the converted), two more great live tracks are "What's My Name" and Straight To Hell" on From Here To Eternity (1999). I'll just also add that I have yet to hear that great song, London Calling, done well live - always seemed to miss the driving bass in the mix.

Was Pete Best screwed over by The Beatles?

Saying "Thanks" for the music you receive from here costs you absolutely nothing, and yet is worth quite a bit to me… If you can't bother leaving a comment on this blog for the first album/set we send you, don't bother making a request For a second album…
